Ligue Havraise

What Ligue Havraise does

Ligue Havraise is a French non-profit association (Association reconnue d'utilité publique) founded in 1958 by Dr. Baudouin in Le Havre, France. The organisation defends the moral and material interests of children, adolescents, and adults with intellectual disability, psych disability, autism, or polyhandicap, and operates a network of 26 medico-social establishments and services across the Le Havre agglomeration, Alençon, Nozay, and Harfleur. Service lines span the full life course and include residential care facilities (MAS Les Constellations, MAS Le Manoir, FAM La Salamandre, FAM Le Perrey, Foyer Edmond Debraize), vocational rehabilitation centres (ESAT La Lézarde, ESAT Porte Océane, IMPRO La Renaissance), medical-educational institutes (IME Arbre à Papillons, IMP L'Espérance), day care centres (CAJ La Salamandre, CAJ Le Perrey), mobile support services (SAMSAH, SAVS, SESSAD), and specialised paediatric facilities (EEAP Les Myosotis).

The association's underlying technology is limited to a public-facing website (liguehavraise.fr) and internal management systems for coordinating care across its 26 facilities; there are no disclosed proprietary software products, AI systems, or digital platforms. Ligue Havraise serves more than 2,000 persons with disabilities (including 1,400 recognised disabled workers followed through CAP Emploi) and is supported by 820+ professionals across all establishments.

Its business model is institutional and non-commercial. Revenue is generated primarily through public funding from the Agence Régionale de Santé (ARS) Haute-Normandie, the Département de Seine-Maritime, AGEFIPH, and FIPHFP under multi-year CPOM (Contrat Pluriannuel d'Objectifs et de Moyens) agreements, supplemented by individual donations and membership fees from adhérents. Pricing of medico-social services is determined by institutional frameworks and public funding agreements rather than market mechanisms. The association is affiliated with UNAPEI (Union Nationale des Associations de Parents d'Enfant Inadaptés), the leading French federation of 550 disability associations, and operates under a 2024-2028 strategic project titled 'Le parcours' focused on personalised life pathways.
